Cyprus Luxury Real Estate Feels a Slowdown in April 2025

Market Overview

The high-end real estate market in Cyprus experienced a marked downshift in April 2025, most apparent within the top-tier property segment. Data from Ask Wire, a tech-powered property analytics firm, shows the 10 priciest transactions totaling €18.4 million, while the 50 leading sales reached €43.8 million. This represents a substantial drop from the previous month.

The biggest individual deal, valued at €3.3 million, involved a land parcel in Engomi, Nicosia. CEO Pavlos Loizou emphasized the market’s contraction, noting that the value of the 50 most expensive properties declined by 52.8% compared to March 2025.

Regional Snapshot: Slight Edge to Limassol

Luxury transactions were somewhat evenly spread across Limassol, Paphos, and Nicosia. Of the top 10 highest-priced properties, four were in Paphos, three in Limassol, two in Nicosia, and one in Larnaca.

Limassol claimed a narrow lead, with its top 10 sales accounting for 26% of the total value among the 50 most expensive deals in Cyprus. Paphos contributed 25.3%, while Nicosia followed close behind with 24.7%.

In absolute figures, Limassol’s top 10 sales reached €11.4 million, just ahead of Paphos at €11.1 million and Nicosia at €10.8 million. Larnaca trailed with €6.3 million, and Famagusta’s luxury segment totaled €4.2 million.

Larnaca Under Delivers; Focus on Land

Among the top 50 transactions, only 18 surpassed the €1 million mark, highlighting a downward shift in what is considered “ultra-premium.” Larnaca, which had built momentum in the luxury sector, posted weaker results than expected.

Interestingly, two of Limassol’s top 10 properties sold for under €1 million, while the remainder hovered below €1.8 million, indicating steady activity in the lower end of the luxury range. Notably, six of the 10 most expensive deals across Cyprus were land plots, reflecting the segment’s rising prominence.

Overall, out of the 50 highest-priced sales, there were 22 houses, 13 land plots, seven building plots, six flats, one apartment block, and one commercial asset.
